Kyler Murray is expected follow Baker Mayfield as the starting quarterback for Oklahoma.

There's one catch.

Murray has been one of the best players on the Sooners baseball team this spring, hitting .296 and ranking second with 10 home runs and 47 RBI. He is projected to be taken highly in the MLB draft next week, which opens the possibility Murray could quit football this summer and sign a lucrative baseball contract.

Oklahoma football coach Lincoln Riley appears unconcerned about the possibility even though baseball may be a better long-term fit for Murray, who is listed at 5-10.

"I don’t really care a whole lot about what happens in the draft," Riley said according to SoonerScoop.com. "I’ve had good conversations with Kyler, his family and I fully expect him to be with us. I really don’t have any worries about it.

"Everybody else has been a lot more worried about it than me. I haven’t lost one night of sleep on it, so I apologize if anyone else has. I mean, I knew the deal getting into it. When he first decided to leave A&M we had very candid conversations with him and his family about it. They have lived up to their word — every part of it. I have no doubt they’ll continue to do so and I think they’d say the same about us."

Murray started one game in 2017 when Mayfield was disciplined for an inappropriate gesture against Kansas. Murray ran for 66 yards on the first play of the game against West Virginia before giving way to Mayfield after his second snap. He finished the year with 359 yards passing and three touchdowns.

Austin Kendall, a sophomore who redshirted last season, was the only other scholarship quarterback on the roster this spring. Incoming freshman Tanner Mordecai will join the team this fall.
